Not getting any fuel, help me out please.

Well, about a month ago i had some truck problems but we think it is the carb needing rebuilt. Well it had been sitting there for a while and i did some basic checks over belt and hoses but didnt disconect anything or replace anything. I figured that id go ahead and try to start her up, hoping for a miracle i guess. And after turning it over several times i noticed that there was no gas in my inline filter. So i had a mission to get gas into the lines or i might have another problem. After alot of trying i never got a drop into the filter. So i figure maybe i dont have enough gas in the tank, so i add 2 gallons, still no good. So i figure it was the fuel pump. I pulled it off and bought another from autozone. Put that sucker on and tried it again, still no luck. And now in the process i think i wore out my starter. Why might i not be getting fuel in the lines. When i bought the truck he said that the tank selector was bad and it actually fell apart on my way home. Could that matter? i drove it through 2 tanks with no problems.

The next thing I would be checking is the fuel lines. You might havve a crack or hole in them letting the pump suck in air. From there I would check your selector valve. If the previous owner had a prob with it, there is a good chance you now have a prob with it. After that if you cannot find the problem, then you will most likely be looking at taking the tanks out and checking the pickup tubes.

Hope this helps!
